'NITED STATES PATENT OFFIc o DANIEL N. PALMER, OF PORTLAND, NEW YORK.

SCRAPER ATTACHMENT FOR PLOW-WHEELS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 305,327, dated September 16, 1884.

Application filed March 24, 1884.

To aIZZ whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, DANIEL N. PALMER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Portland, in the county of Chautauqua and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Scraper Attachment for Wheels of Ilows, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

The object of this invention is to prevent the wheel of a plow-beam becoming clogged by dirt, mud, sticks, grass, &c.,causing the stoppage of the plowing to remove the same as they get into the spaces of the spokes and stick to the periphery of the wheel; and the invention consists in the construction and combination of parts hereinafter set forth and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a plowwvheel in its frame, detached from the beam, and showing the attachment of my scraper; Fig. 2, a front elevation of same.

AA represent the wheel-frame, and B the wheel, as usual. 0 is a metal scraper, made of flat iron, one end, a, bent at right angles to the scraping part, and bolted to or through the frame A, and having a nut, b, on the (No model.)

end of the bolt, to remove the scraper and also to adjust the scraper higher or lower by means of a slot, 0, therein, (see Fig. 1,) according as the wheel is set by its slot 01, so as to always be in line with the plowshare. Thus as the position of the wheel is changed to be higher or lower, the scraper is correspondingly set to touch the wheel.

I am aware that scrapers have been attached to colters and to wheels of plows, and I do not claim such, broadly; but

\Vhat I do claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination, with the frame A A of a plow-beam, having the slot (2, and the wheel B, having its axis supported and adj ustablein the slot 'd, of the scraper C, Set upon the arm A of the frame, and having the part a bent around said arm, and provided with the slot 0 and the set-nut b, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof Iaffix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

DANIEL N. PALMER.
